"My benefactor, it's my adoptive father and the others..." Xiaodouzi whispered hurriedly to the owner of the long sword who was in the room.
Following Xiaodouzi's words, the master of the long sword saw clearly that the people coming were the Fu brothers. He removed the long sword from his hands and put it into the sword box behind him.
"Two generals, you haven't seen each other for a day, but you are still fine." The young man's young voice sounded in the side room.
The Fu brothers saw that the boy was no longer dressed in armor and had put on a green shirt. Fukang put down the girl in his arms and caressed the girl's face. He didn't know if he was talking to Xiaodouzi or to the boy. He said: "Your benefactor, I will torture you. It's so late and I won't let you have a good rest."
Xiaodouzi heard this and was about to explain to his benefactor, but his benefactor spoke first.
"Two generals, forgive me. It's really helpless for Xiaodouzi to deliver the message. I also know from Xiaodouzi's mouth that General Fukang adopted his daughter. It's really a blessing for Xiaodouzi to worship the general as his adoptive father. I'm also happy for her. .”
"Since I have adopted her as my adopted daughter, I will naturally treat her as my biological daughter. Needless to say, I don't need to say more about this... Brother Mu, you called my two brothers to meet me late at night, you must not have adopted her for the sake of my general." What's the matter? What's the meaning of that morning message?" Fukang was an upright general and didn't want to go around in circles and went straight to the point.
There was no light burning in the wing, but one could feel the young man's smile. Xiaodouzi was lonely, and now it would be a good home for him to worship the Fu brothers. Although they were not close friends, Gu Xiao also knew that the Fu brothers were upright people. , how could we not be happy for Xiaodouzi.
Hearing Fukang speak, the young man stood up first, opened the windows and doors, and checked around them. When he saw that no one was eavesdropping, he closed the door and asked Xiaodouzi to go to the couch to rest. Then he turned to the Fu brothers and spoke. He told the truth about bumping into the killer accidentally in the alley.
Xiaodouzi knew that his benefactor had important matters to discuss with his adoptive father and second uncle, so he consciously and wisely retreated to rest without further ado.
What Gu Xiao didn't expect was that the two Fu family generals did not panic when they heard that killers had been posted outside Yunlai Inn. The moonlight passed through the window lattice and reflected on the faces of the two generals, who looked even more calm. After thinking about it, Fu Rui Be the first to speak.
"Brother Mu, you were the one who captured my two brothers into the city, and you are the one who said this time that there were swordsmen and axemen outside the inn. How can we believe this?"
Fukang heard his brother speak and took over the words: "What you are referring to directly is that Yanbei's commanding general sues the officials from the people. If it is in accordance with the law, regardless of whether the evidence is conclusive or not, even if we fight in court, you will have to Get on the *** board first."
Hearing the words spoken by the two generals, but their tone of voice was not embarrassing, Gu Xiao heard the hidden meaning behind the words, and suddenly remembered the words of persuading the two men led by the patrol outside the city. He lowered his head and groped for something from his arms. Fan, took out the command arrow given by General Wan, and appeared in front of the Fu brothers.
Under the moonlight, the golden arrows with the four characters "I am here in person" shine brightly. The golden light that represents Qi Yun's supreme imperial power shines into the eyes of the Fuji brothers, making the two generals, who have always been upright, unable to help but feel startled.
The imperial power charter, the power of life and death, although the arrow is just made of ordinary gold, but the words on it are fascinating... Fukang, who was stunned, couldn't help but stretched out his hand, wanting to touch this supreme imperial power, but was sideways "Plop" brought him back from his thoughts.
Looking sideways, he saw that his brother Fu Rui had already knelt down and touched his forehead to the ground. Perhaps it was because of the secret of his actions that he did not shout loudly. His low voice was enough to make Fu Kang frightened.
"Commander of the garrison, Furui, comes to see my emperor. Long live my emperor."
Fukang regained consciousness for a moment, and hurriedly stood up and knelt side by side with his brothers. He wanted to shout long live, but was blocked by the young man in front of him.
Gu Xiao didn't expect that the gold-medal command arrow Wan Jun gave him could actually make the two Yanbei patrol generals kneel in front of him. When he stopped Fukang from opening his mouth, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Fu Kang. The brothers said, "You two generals have done a great job guarding the border and guarding the people. How can I dare to accept such a great gift?"
Unexpectedly, when they stretched out their hands, the Fu brothers knelt down and retreated together, not daring to let the young man reach out to help each other. They did not accept the order until they knelt back a little and stood up. However, they had long lost the majesty of the previous leading generals. At this moment, they stood up and did not dare to sit down again. , just bowed his head and stood beside the young man.
"Two generals, I have no other intentions. When I persuaded you two in the patrol to help me enter the city, I mentioned General Wan's gift of the token.
I want you two to believe that I took out this order just to make the two generals believe that what I said is true. "The young man opened his mouth to explain.
"Brother Mu doesn't know something. Anyone who obeys this order, not to mention the two patrols of Yanbei, is the Yanbei generals and the hundreds of thousands of Yanbei troops. They must also obey the order." Fu Rui said in a low voice, Talk to the young man about this golden medal arrow.
Hearing this, Gu Xiao raised his palm slightly and looked at the arrow in his palm. He could hardly suppress the shock in his heart. He and Wan Jun just met by chance. Why did he trust him so much and put such a precious thing in his hands.
"An army of one hundred thousand..." the young man murmured.
The heaviness in the palm is not the weight of gold, but the weight of supreme power in the eyes of those who are greedy for power. But the stars in the young man's eyes are extremely clear. In his eyes, the weight of the hand is the weight of protecting the border and guarding the people...
After thinking for a while, he remembered the killer outside the inn and the complicated situation in Yanbei City. The young man had already thought about it and said softly: "I would like to ask the two generals to help me again."
The two of them clasped their fists together and said in a low voice: "The general will take your orders."
Seeing this, Gu Xiao hurriedly said: "Two generals, you don't have to be like this."
After the young man finished speaking, seeing that the two of them were still cautious, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, turned his eyes slightly, and asked: "General Fukang, the day when I dare to ask about military regulations is tomorrow?"
"Yes, yesterday evening, all the generals of the Yanbei camp have entered the city. General orders have been sent to Shanfu. The military regulations will be held tomorrow at the Yunlai Inn." Fukang bowed his head and replied.
The young man nodded slightly, looked sideways at Furui and said, "Based on the general's understanding of the Yanbei Camp for many years, some of these generals are as loyal and loyal to the country as the two generals, and some are like weeds who can be blown away by the wind. A fallen person?"
Hearing the young man's question, the Fu brothers looked at each other and pondered for a moment before Fu Rui finally spoke first.
"Needless to say Gao Deng, I think Brother Mu has heard about it. Most of the remaining Yanbei generals were promoted by General Wan. When it comes to loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and protecting the people, it is natural... Only...the three brothers Shalim, Shaliguo, and Shaliye often showed dissatisfaction when General Wan was around..."
When Fukang heard his brother mentioning the three Shali brothers, he also showed some anger and said: "These three are not what Brother Mu said they were the outsiders. Although they were brave on the battlefield, they were cruel generals. They often whipped the soldiers and punished them arbitrarily. General Wan At that time, there was still some restraint, but after hearing that General Shan was trapped in Jiang Lin, the two men not only became more out of character, but there were also rumors in the army that the two men were secretly connected with the Northern Jin Dynasty. "
"Yes, Shan Bin has closed the city this time and has tampered with the military regulations. We both feel that Brother Mu's conclusion before entering the city is good. Shan Bin may have bad intentions." Fu Rui continued what his brother said. said.
Gu Xiao already knew about the Yanbei generals through the Fu brothers. After thinking about it, he handed the gold medal command arrow to Fukang's hand.
Before Gu Xiao could speak, Fukang was already panicking. He knelt down and asked the arrow to pass over his head and said, "This was given to Brother Mu by General Wan. How dare Fukang accept this token? Please take back this order." "
Seeing his brother kneeling, Furui also lifted up his skirt and armor and knelt with his brother.
Gu Xiao knew that these two people were the most important, so he stretched out his hand to help the two generals and persuaded them.
"Two generals, since we all know what Shan Bin is thinking, and the killer outside the Yunlai Inn, he will kill the Yanbei generals on the day when the military regulations are announced. If the army's chief general is lost, Yanbei City will be destroyed. The 100,000-strong army outside will be leaderless. If the Northern Jin Dynasty takes advantage of the situation to disturb Yanbei, Qiyun's door will be wide open. Do you think General Wan's entire life's hard work will be ruined?"
Xu Shi was persuaded by the young man's words, and the two of them fell silent and fell into deep thought.
Strike while the iron is hot, Gu Xiao continued: "Now Yanbei City is full of Shan Bin's soldiers. It's not that I don't trust other generals, but if you want to reverse this trend, the two generals outside the south gate have 20,000 patrols. The army is our biggest support at the moment." Kanshu La
"Brother Mu, do you want me and the two to lead troops into the city?" Fu Rui heard the implication from the young man's words.
The young man's eyes shone like stars in the sky: "Yes, only the patrols under the two generals entering the city can deter Shan Bin. If he really betrays Qi and surrenders to Jin, he can be captured on the spot."
"Don't say that the two of us are already the same
Yanbei, even if our brothers are still patrolling outside the city, it is impossible to break through Yanbei City with just 20,000 people. Fukang answered with a frown, holding the command arrow in his hand.
Furui also followed his brother's words and said: "The ones guarding the city are also my Yanbei soldiers, who are familiar with our army's tactics. In this way, it is even more hopeless to break the city."
The room was dark, but the white teeth exposed in the smile on the young man's lips were very eye-catching: "Who said you let the two generals lead the army to break the city?"
"Then..." Fukang frowned and spoke as he was confused by the young man.
However, Furui understood the young man's thoughts and suddenly said: "I see...but...the city gate has been sealed, how can we send orders to the outside of the city?"
"What on earth are you talking about? There is no one else in this room. If you say half-hidden, half-hidden, are you trying to kill me?" Fukang, who was on the side, heard the riddle-like conversation between his brother and Mu Yi. He hurriedly asked each other in a hurry. .
If they weren't afraid of waking up the Yanbei generals in the Yunlai Inn, Furui and Gu Xiao would probably laugh to the sky when they saw Fukang's anxious look. Gu Xiao suppressed his laughter and explained.
"General Fukang, you have this gold medal command arrow. If there is a crisis on the day of the military regulations, you will show this command. I believe that even if Shan Bin wants to rebel, the soldiers in the city will not know it. As long as this command can temporarily protect the generals, As for your life, just leave it to me to convey the orders General Fury said...Besides, there are more than 20,000 patrol troops outside the south gate."
Furui frowned and said, "That idiot Gordon has been abandoned by General Wan back then. Will he act according to your plan?"
"Whether he knows it or not, it doesn't matter. There is still one person among the garrison outside the city who can mobilize ten thousand garrison troops under Gordon. I can persuade him to lead the army into the city together." Thinking of Yan. In Qingchuan, Gu Xiao has a bright mind.
"Okay! Let's follow Brother Mu's method." The Fu brothers looked at each other and made up their minds. They each took out half of the tiger talisman from their bodies, fumbled around, and handed it to Gu Xiao.
Seeing the caution in the eyes of the second general, Gu Xiao put aside his previous expression, looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, don't worry, once the chaos in Yanbei is over, I will definitely return the tiger talisman to Zhao intact."
"When Brother Mu helps me, Yanbei, to break this game, I'll definitely put down some good wine for you, Old Kang, so that Brother Mu and I won't get drunk until we get home." Fukang cupped his fists towards the young man and said.
The dimple on his lips reappeared, and the young man stood up and said, "Okay, when Yanbei's business is over, there is no need for the general to prepare a banquet. I will find good wine myself and have a drink with the two generals."
The three of them had reached an agreement, and when they looked sideways, they saw that the girl lying on the couch had already fallen asleep soundly. Gu Xiao sighed, turned to the second general and said, "She has a pitiful background, and I want her to go to Yunxiang Pavilion for temporary refuge..." .”
Fukang stepped forward and stroked the sleeping girl's hair. His eyes were filled with love, and he turned to the young man and said, "That's fine. Protecting your daughter is what I, the foster father, should do, but... on the day of military regulations, It’s extremely dangerous, and I don’t know if my two brothers will be able to escape unscathed by then. It’s best if we can avoid this place... Then I’ll leave it to Brother Mu.”
Seeing that Fukang had agreed, Gu Xiao immediately wrapped Xiaodouzi in the quilt on the couch and held it in his arms. When he was about to leave, he thought of Si Wei Xiaoliu and asked the two generals. The Fu brothers naturally agreed and stayed until dawn. , and entrusted the young man to pass on the message.
The worries in his heart were temporarily resolved. He remembered that he had missed the time to meet up with Miss Jiang and others at Yunxiang Pavilion. Gu Xiao didn't wait any longer and carefully opened the window. He sensed that no one was watching around him with his inner energy of luck. He immediately turned around and looked towards The Fu brothers nodded slightly, used Qinggong to jump up to the roof, and looked at Yunxiang Pavilion...
